Rookies

I think at this point it's safe to say, Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names. 2026 needs to pick a top edge rusher, linebacker and Oline. The back end is good with our corners and safeties.

Everything is pointing up and really looking foward to what we can build up from here.

Keep Pounding

You're never going to nail every pick.  For a while there at the beginning of the season it looked like Princely was going to be better than Scourton. Just about every pick as produced somehow this season and that's rare.  Not to mention the FA in Coker and Thourton. 

What I do like is most of these guys have that "Dawg" mentality and in year or so they are going to really start paying dividends.

People heard scourtons name yesterday so the whole draft is good again 

We have a good rookie TE in relatively limited usage, a OROTY candidate in a rookie WR, a rookie made the game-ending pick, and a rookie got us the game winning points. 

This is more than just Scourton's play imo.

Hes a 2nd round rookie edge rusher, a postion that typically takes 2-3 years to develop 

But I think Scourton had 1st round grades and he fell to the 2nd... I think I remember him saying that when he got to Texas A&M, that he played out of position and he dropped a little.

Dan's been part of 5 drafts, 3 as an assistant to the "last guy" and 2 leading the way. The first 3 with Fitts were pretty ugly overall. Last year's draft, his 1st, isn't looking hot. This year looking like a winner. 

He's been part of some bad FA decisions, some good ones, and right now we have the most expensive OL in the league with our franchise LT on the last year of his rookie deal. That's going to get even more expensive. 

I'm not ready to crown him as a GM god quite yet because one good year isn't making up for all the bad that's been done the previous 4.

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
